External and internal trials are part of our everyday experience. Every day we have some sort of challenge and it becomes a drag on our hearts and minds. Within this reality it is essential that we are also mindful of the blessings that flow from God’s hand as both our Creator and Saviour. Indeed, God is our “Father of Lights” who is the giver of every good gift that comes to us as we make our human journey in both this life and the one to come.
